Cold air had come from Alaska the TV says and its cold. Thur. 57 Fri.57 Sat.54 I missed night lows but its 33 or 34 I think.
My dogs have the run of the house but sleep outside. I let them sleep inside when its so cold like this but my Border Collie wants out as soon as I get up and stays out. He likes to keep a eye on things.
July 3rd and 4th I also let them sleep inside, those are bad nights for Cooper, I live amongst the Mexicans and its like a professional fireworks show all around my house.
I have Dual Cab Control with 13 blocks and am making a new control panel for my layout expansion. The current one is .055 sheet metal and was hard to make, this is 1/8 Masonite. I painted it silver, then drew my track plan with the block separations and am now using 1/8 masking tape to mask my track plan and then will paint it semi gloss black, and then drill the holes for the toggle switches for each block. I made my current one this way and like it. Turnouts are ground throws or Bullfrog.
